Microsoft sues DHL over damaged Xboxes

Roughly a year ago, a train carrying 21,600 Xboxes derailed in Duke, Texas.

Now, Microsoft, which says that the Xboxes were either damaged or pilfered in the incident, is suing cargo carrier DHL, which it says has repeatedly refused to pay the $2.1 million Microsoft says it lost.

The Xboxes were on quite a journey. Loaded on in McAllen, Texas, the train was on its way to Houston, although the ultimate destination in the U.S. was Long Beach, Calif. There, they were to make their way to Hong Kong.
